I don't know what else he has planned or not but DAMN!!!! the battery life on this ROM is crazy!!!! I can't kill it in one day. I do lots of email and text and about 4 hours of talk and I charge it around 7 pm with about 40% left. What the F*** ?!!! did you do to this ROM man. It took almost two weeks for my battery to settle in but now I can't kill it. Here is some advice about the next update. If you decide to do anything I mean Aaaaaaaaanything to the scrip of this ROM and screw up the battery, I will kick you in the balls.

Awesome ROM, GPS is very slow, locks in about 2 sec. Battery life is only 18 hours of heavy use. Yeaaaaa I think I like :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh::p

Either way, its in this ( other stuff was in them this early too, so if you dont want the widgets and stuff, just take the launcher AND the .SO file)

I'm not disagreeing per se, but how is el26 safer than an Agat, Chris41g, Sleshepic, or RUJELUS kernel???

One crosses an OS bridge while the others do not, and all are equally free of ERASE_CAP potential.

Hey PhAkEer, so my girlfriends phone is running the previous Blazer GB Rom that i flashed on there for her a few months back when I rooted her Epic Touch(Im a EVO LTE user myself). You had mentioned "ktool" from the market.

My Question is, i only need to run that tool on her kernel and then be able to flash this ICS Blazer Rom or do I need to flash one of those kernels you mentioned above this post first then flash the ICS rom??? Sorry for the noob question, but like I said before, im doing this on my girlfriends Epic Touch and not very versed on the ways of the Samsung side of things.....

Thanks....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigblue4life:
OK so I been on this rom since yesterday and must say I love it. I've seen a few people mention some really good battery life. I installed and left it alone aside from turning brightness down and a few other things. What are some of you doing to get nice battery life?

Can you hide apps like you would on the SGS3?

I just downloaded v1.5.1 4x5, and yes it does hide the apps which I love that feature. Launcher Pro is no longer needed, and it wont be missed. The only bug is the calendar widget that does not work, but no biggie.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Download the ROM and the Format All that is posted right below it from the OP and put them both on SD.

Odin one of the latest Agat63 safe kernels from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421

Reboot into recovery, flash the Format All and then the ROM during the same recovery session. That's should do it.

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

The shutdown QMG video file is located in system/media/video/shutdown.

To access it, you need to use a root browser to get to the system files. Rom Toolbox is free and includes one as does Es File Explorer. But you have to enable root browing in ES.

You can search more on boot animation and shutdown animations using the XDA search tool.

Any suggestions to improve battery life? I'm running AGAT 0.4.4 + FF18 and was down to 16% from a full charge after ~8 hours with Wifi all day, 2 hours of conference calls, received 20 emails, sent/received 20-30 texts and watched ~15 minutes worth of video. GSam said I had 1h51m talk, and 1h30m screen time...the kernel % was minimal.

Any help would be appreciated. I had much better battery on StrongSteve's GB ROM.

Sturmie
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think that is pretty decent battery life for ICS. You're getting about 4 hours screen on time if you include the phone calls (which in my opinion use more juice than screen anyway). Comparing to GB will just frustrate you. It's like saying my 1989 Toyota Camry gets better gas mileage than my 2012 Camry (which it true btw). There's more under the hood to regulate in the newer car. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigblue4life:
I too been wondering what people are doing for battery on this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
So, are you saying the battery on GB is better than ICS? I read somewhere that ICS isn't exactly developed with the procs that are in the S2 in mind and therefore Samsung pieced together an ICS build to appease the masses...which would stand to reason since my wife has the S3 and seems to get really good battery life out of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Oh yes, absolutely GB has better battery life. Keep in mind ICS for the E4GT is practically brand new from a source release standpoint and the developers have barely scratched the surface of cracking down the kernel. We have been running ICS leaks for so long that we forget that tweaking from source code is not an overnight event.

Edit: Also, we've lost a lot of talented E4GT developers to the SIII. Everyone can thank Samsung and Sprint for this. I'm sure the horribly lengthy ICS testing phase caused a lot of burn out and disappointment overall.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
Any thoughts on making the switch yourself? Just curious...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
I sure hope not because that phone is practically a tablet with how big the screen is and I will really wish they would start making the phones have a little bit smaller screens in my opinion. I like to have my phone just slip in my pocket and I don't even notice it in there... so it's kind of like a ninja phone. Lol!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peperonikiller:
Solution: Buy pants with bigger pockets XD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Thanks for the info.

So, going back to my NAND back up my GB ROM...is there anything special I need to be aware or can I just do a restore and be fine? Don't want to brick it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You will be fine with the new ICS kernels from source they are all safe.

I don't want to confuse you but just to be clear, this means the stock based TouchWiz ICS (like this one) and does not apply to CM or AOKP or AOSP type roms.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:

Just sharing my tremendous battery life - 33 hours with juice left over. This was my first full day after installing the ROM using the standard 1800mah battery. Very impressive!

Before loading this and the FG31 modem, I had CM9 and was getting 8 HOURS or so, with my phone cooking hot and occasional SOD's. No SOD's so far, and very happy I switched it out to Phantom's Blazer. :good: :cool:

Could your phone go a day and half? Well, mine could lleft idle I suppose but what matters is the coming from 8 and landing on 30+....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRickSS:
Yes, it was definitely light use, but it was the same general use as before with the same programs and same 1800 mah battery. It was a general apples to apples comparison with only ROM/modem swapped.

I posted only because it was amazing. What can I say? YMMV! A lot! How's that for a disclaimer?

Hacking screenshots or swapping batteries just to post on here sounds pretty stupid to me, but I guess I'm weird that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
I went back to my NAND backup of StrongSteve's GB ROM yesterday after running Blazer's ICS for a few weeks. Just checked my phone and I've only lost 12% over the past 6h30m with light-to-moderate use. When I was on ICS, I'd probably be down at least 50% with the same usage over that time period.

I like ICS, but not enough to cut my battery life by 60%.
